Default Mixing body kits...

Just got the Nismo lip installed. I like it cuz its not too big. But I dont like the Nismo sideskirts. I was thinking of picking up the Greddy side skirts cuz I like the air duct on the rear of the skirt. What does everyone think??? Yes or no???

A lot of people mix and match different kits. I plan on doing the V1 lip and the Nismo sides myself.

Mixing body kits works as long as everything goes into one another smoothly. I'm actually planning on the Nismo front 'n then Vertex sideskirts 'n back bumper. Hmmm....it sounds delicious.

Not sure, I'll figure that out after I put on the Greddy EVO2 exhaust.

I like mixing body kits. You get exactly what you want. My future plans are: Nismo front bumper w/ Varis air duct, Greddy or Vertex side skirts...pero I am leaning more towards Greddy, 'n the Vertex rear. Plus maybe an Igns+1 trunk lip. Mmmmm-mm, it sounds delicious just thinking 'bout it. Now all I need is the $$ hahaha.

Oh 'n Doser, can you tell me how you went 'bout putting in the Varis air duct? I'm too lazy to search on the forum .

I am doing the Vizage front, Greddy sides, Seibon VT hood and ING +1 LX front Fenders. I still have not decided on the rear but so far I think this will look pretty sweet.

There is a PPW Z out there that has this setup, and I personally think it's one of the best cars I have seen. It was at ZDays and had Axis Hiro rims... Anyone got some pics of that car?

nismo front bumper resembles the oem bumper alot... so does alot of other kits...
shouldnt an aftermarket kit resemble something other than original Z looks ...
example might be the Stillen front fascia that resembles the porsche 911 front or veilside long nose thats unique...?

When you buy the duct it comes with a template that you line up with the bumper and left head light. You then cut through the bumper with a dremmel tool or a box cutter. Line up the duct and apply screws...

i plan on ditching my vizage sides and rear and going with the do-luck sides and rear. i want the CF diffuser with the do-luck rear to go with my varis CF air duct once i install it on my vizage front. should hopefully happen after i get back from my deployment. i really like the vizage front.

btw, the greddy side skirts fit like oem. so you don't have to worry about them. i installed them on a friends car and they were perfect!!! i wish all kits fit in that manner!

I am mixing body kits as well.
Varis air duct. (on order)
JP vizage front lip. (Ordering Tuesday)
Greddy side skirts. (still deciding. might not go low enough for my taste)
Do-luck rear bumper. (still deciding, a bit expensive)
